If Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds were made in this fashion, I would have loved it.

Oh man, give this movie a break and just enjoy it without finding any plot holes with it. The fact that the producers made this film totallly in videocam fps view is so that they don't have to bother telling you about the monster's origin and what happened next. A good monster movie doesn't explain everything for you, it leaves you imagining the entire situation, not to be spoonfed until the very end.

The ending of the film is probably one of the best endings I've seen recently. I wouldn't wanna know the real ending, nor do I wanna see the monster being defeated by missiles and jets. Have you not see enough of crap like this? The ending was abrupt and refreshing at the same time, without giving you any chance to gather your thoughts before the end of the show. Those of you who can't take this concept should go back and watch Ultraman.


If you can't take shaky cam, that's a reasonable excuse though.

i dont think u get the idea on what the makers of the movie wants to portray, picture urself in a scenario where there happened to be a massive hysteria, would you still be holding your camera still taking sweet steady shots from the best prospective and stuff?
furthermore u've sounded as if you're being forced to watch this movie from the very beginning? what gives?

First of all, depends on which plot hole you are talking about. If it's the timeline, I have to disagree. If it's about the flying monster diving into the water, I have to disagree. Why wait so long to cause havoc? Well, we'll see how it goes and if it even is the monster at all.

ermm u guys talk about the flying monster diving into the sea.
was it like huge or chibi sized. my eyes were so focused on beth i didnt notice anything else.

like i said, why bother to know what made the monster so long to create havoc is not for us to find out. the producers don't care, why should we care then? we can ask questions but don't make it a fault in the film.

btw kobe, what happened to the exchange? it didn't transpire.

Well we all understand what the film maker wish to address here...
Just that it whole cam recording can be done in a better way, least logic but much pleasent to watch for the audiences

Agreed.Especially in regards to the ending. (and going back to Ultraman )

Ask the monster?

Lol no,really,that's trivial.I mean,u could come up with all kinds of stuff (like the monster was in some hibernation form waitin to come out,or watever) but that's really besides the point.

Added on January 18, 2008, 6:31 pmProbably the director didn't want "pleasent" Probably the director wanted ppl leaving the cinema feeling that they've indeed just watched a real recording picked up by the government,stuff like that.

because I don't like dizzy stuff such as Blair Witch, FPS game and now Cloverfield. OMG!!!!!!!!!!

Then you probably should have opted to pass on this movie,when ppl were talkin bout how the viewpoint was gonna be

yup~~ agree
if it did explain everything, we wun see so many discussion around here

if u knew u didnt like dizzy stuff, pretty much a no brainer to opt not watch this movie dun ya think

erm btw...where is the scene where there is a flying monster?
i certainly din notice tat

What happened to the YouTube video posted on page 19?

care to explain?
I dont understand, hear reverse also dont understand-,-

Just cam back from watching the movie.My head is dizzy like shit.

when reverse we can hear "it's still alive"
i think after the final bombing the monster is still alive~~

To say the producers don't care is naive. The fact that they have had such a detailed ARG tells you a lot about how much they care. It's not a fault in the film but it's a fault in the ARG and the ARG affects the Cloverfield experience. You are watching the film on its own but I am a fanboy

Besides, if they didn't want us to care about the timeline, it wouldn't have been an ARG in the first place

And I didn't know where your friend was. I was fiddling with my bucks and he didn't appear.

ya i heard "its alive" after 6 times.

wonder why at normal is :"help me"

reverse shouldnt be :" me help?"

Lol, noob at sounds XD

It depends on where you are standing from. I am standing from one side who has been on Unfiction clicking F5 every passing minute of day so it matters a lot XD
